Thank you very much for all the kind compliments everyone! I put ALOT of hard work into this and just like I though, it paid off! Last weekend I ordered a set of 4/3 Koni's and strano springs which should be in around the 2 week of July so I cannot wait to get that stuff in! Should be in right after I start driving the car again, keeping it in the garage for 30 days until I can wax it!
Ive also been looking to trade someone my rear 17x9 TTII's for their 17x11's plus some cash on my side. Once I find someone to trade me, I wont be doing anything to the exterior until I decide on a hood, probably sunoco. Also I should be ordering one of those new double din bezel's from 6LE soon, currently I have the Pioneer Avic-F700, which is an amazing product, but I cut my bezel and it doesnt look good enough to my standards.

finally got the car back this morning... I was suppose to pick it up on Monday but when they took it to get aligned from the girl hitting me a few weeks ago, it wouldnt align so I ended up getting a new upper control arm, outer tie rod, spindle, and hub... Kinda cool because I was going to replace the tie rod's and ball joints soon anyways! They said my lower ball joint is fine as well as the inner tie rod, ill be doing the passanger side in the next couple weeks hopefully. Also my A/C quit blowing cold a couple months ago so im gonna run some die on monday and see if I cant fix the problem... have a feeling its the O-ring inside the compressor.
The car looks great though! Ill be working all weekend including today so I wont have time to clean it up until probably tuesday, then ill take some pics.
Got alot of work to do on the car as far as maintanence goes, change oil, fix A/C, passanger tie-rod/balljoints, need a new console armrest cover (my big *** arm destroyed busted the screws out of the old one and its destroyed now), get the koni/strano setup put on once it comes in in July, and fix my sway bar endlink that decided to pop one of the bushings out of place. As for appearance, it looks great!

sorry I suck with camera's and editing, dont have photoshop either, but here are some pics I took tonight after cleaning it up! Probably would come out better in the day time so less editing is needed.

Do you have a tripod? And are you using a camera with a manual mode? If so, and you want to take pictures at night like that in a parking garage and don't want all that noise (speckles) on the pictures, here's what you do:
Switch to the manual mode, or one of the other manual modes that offers shutter speed as an available option. Change it to 1" or longer and it'll keep the lens open longer to absorb more light and your pics won't be dark and noisy. You gotta use a tripod or another car though, because even a minor jiggle will mess up your picture.
